# Skill: effect/explainer-panel — "פאנל הסבר" (Explainer panel)

A motion-graphics panel in one call: neon chat bubbles pop, a line draws to a play icon, an icon morphs and a line types under it.

Price: **60 credits per finished minute**: the render itself — 1 credit per second of 1080p output. Combined with captions, a hook or other effects: still one render, nothing more for combining.

## 1. On its own — one call

```jsonc
POST /v1/effects/explainer-panel             // x-wait-ms: 110000
{
  "video_url": "https://media.gpt.org.il/samples/sample-he.mp4",
  "start": 0.1,
  "duration": 6.7
}
```

A normal render: `status: processing` → poll `GET /v1/executions/{id}` until `completed`, then read `output.url`.

When it plays: a stretch: `start` + `duration` (seconds of the finished video), or `at` (a word id) + `duration`, or `during` { from, to } (word ids).

## 2. With captions, a hook and other effects — the same render

```jsonc
POST /v1/studio/edit               // x-wait-ms: 110000
{
  "video_url": "<the video>",
  "language_code": "he",
  "captions": {
    "style": "classic"
  },
  "effects": [
    {
      "id": "explainer-panel",
      "start": 0.1,
      "duration": 6.7
    }
  ],
  "audio": {
    "normalize": true
  },
  "output": {
    "aspect_ratio": "9:16",
    "resolution": "1080",
    "fit": "crop",
    "quality": "high"
  }
}
```

`effects` is a list: add more entries for more effects. The engine applies them by pipeline stage (cuts and time →
camera → grade and looks → overlays → text and captions → sound), never by their order in the list. An edit has one
`transition`, one `color` grade, one `music` bed, one `speed` and one caption style: two effects that set the same
one are refused with a message that names them.

## 3. Params

| param | default | range / options | what it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `line` | `"בלי ידע בעריכה"` | string | The line typed under the icon at the end ("" = none) |
| `icons` | `["timeline","chat","gear"]` | list | The icon that morphs in the second half, in order |
| `color` | `"#8DC4D9"` | string | The lines' colour |
| `glow` | `6` | 0–20 | The glow round the lines, px at 1080 wide |
| `bubbles` | `3` | 0–4 | How many chat bubbles pop at the start (0 = none) |
| `layout` | `"split"` | `split` · `over` | split = the speaker moves to the bottom, the panel takes the top · over = the panel is drawn over the video |
| `panel_height` | `45` | 25–70 | The panel's height, % of the frame |
| `focus_y` | `0.42` | 0–1 | split: the band of the speaker's picture kept at the bottom, round this height (0 top … 1 bottom) |

GET `/v1/effects/explainer-panel` returns the same as JSON (with the full body schema). Every field has a default; numbers
outside their range are refused with the field's name.
